since he hasnt been around any kids since he was a tiny puppy..that is probably why he barks at children....he definately should have been socialized with kids from day one...but you cant change that now obviously
i would suggest meating up with a behaviourist so that they can help you get zero use to kids.
barkley was raised with one little girl who was like 10 and she always beat him and locked in a tiny crate and was severely mean to him so when i rescued him from that home at 5 months he was very afraid of children...we never had any kids in my house but then my sister started dating a guy with a 5 year old and they got custody of him about a year ago and they started bringing him around here...barkley would run from him and bark at him but he never growled or lunged or anything like that....after about 2 weeks of being around gabe he realized kids werent so bad and now he's great with kids..this past summer i took him to the park and he played fetch with a whole group of kids...he loves kids now he will literally whine and scream for me to let him out of his crate when gabe comes over now..it just took him a little while to realize that they were not a threat to him
